Club career
He started his career at Internazionale, then playing on loan for a number of Serie B and Serie C1 teams (Mantova, AlbinoLeffe, Casarano, Pro Sesto, Ancona, Foggia, Acireale) until 1998. In July 1998, he was acquired by Reggina, where he was featured as a regular and became instrumental in the club's first promotion ever to the Serie A league in 1999. Orlandoni left Reggina in January 2000 to join Bologna on loan; he then returned to Reggina in September 2000, never playing again for his team, and was subsequently sold to Lazio where he was featured as a second-choice goalkeeper.
From 2001 to 2005, he played for Piacenza, first as backup keeper, then as a regular in his final season with the club. In July 2005, Orlandoni returned to Inter, signing a two-year contract as a third-choice goalkeeper behind Francesco Toldo and Júlio César,[2] making his debut for the Nerazzurri on 14 May 2006 in a league game versus Cagliari.[3][4] His contract was extended on 29 May 2007,[5] on 26 May 2008,[6] on 12 May 2009,[7] and on 29 June 2010.[8] On 7 December 2010, Orlandoni made his UEFA Champions League debut, at 38 years of age, in a 0–3 loss to SV Werder Bremen.[9]
On 29 June 2011, he extended his contract again.[10] Just before the last round of 2011–12 Serie A, Orlandoni announced his retirement after the season. However, he still travelled with Inter to Indonesia in May 2012 for a friendly tour.
